What the hell is on NYTimes.com? Obama equated with sports like Putin, Castro, and Evo Morales? |
|
If I still lived in NYC I'd throw a brick through the window.
What is this bullshit?

not sure if you saw on the front page, but it was just the lede and the photo...the article obviously is about sports and political figures - whatever the hell that is worth

6. I like the article ... it's funny in spots. |
|
I don't think it's "equating" Obama with anyone ... just talking about the sporting predilections of world leaders.

7. The print article was fine... |
|
I don't know how they promoted the article on line, but the print article was in the Sports section. I must say, for his age (47) the futbol-playing Evo Morales has a nice set of gams. So far, it appears that no national leaders engage in BASE jumping or spelunking -- which probably makes their security details very, very happy.
